To date we have raised €1100 for the national charity in the Republic of Ireland dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem, and improving the lives of those living with cancer.

Christ Church Hall , West Didsbury – Manchester, UK

In 2017, A volunteer group from Ardmac supported a redecoration of Christ Church Hall in Manchester. This consisted of over 80 Volunteer hours across the project.“The decoration of the toilets has been a big improvement and many of our users have commented on how much better they look! The church hall is used each week by diverse groups of people and we estimate that about 200-300 people are in the building each week. As you can imagine having clean, newly decorated toilets is of huge benefit to all concerned.” Rev Ann Pilkington
